Located just south of the airport, Van Nuys Golf Course has a unique location that provides an air show with anything from WWII Warbirds to F16 Falcons. It can be loud occasionally, but it's also one of the most affordable rounds in the area. There are two golf courses available, an 18-hole par-3 course and a nine-hole executive course. Neither of the courses are terribly formidable, but it's a great spot for getting in some practice. It's ideal for beginners but golf enthusiasts of any skill level will appreciate that the facility stays open late and both golf courses and the driving range are equipped with lights. The Van Nuys par-3 course offers good short game practice. There are a few bunkers and some strategically placed palm trees, but it's a very user-friendly golf course overall. It's even gentle enough for juniors.

Below average

Unfortunately there is the airport at few yards from the course and the tee’s signs around the field are too hold and bad maintained so they are unreadable

Best time right now!

Rains have made fairways grassy and not hard dirt. If you start before 10am you can finish before 12. If you start at 10:30 you might be behind some people

Best Short Game Course

I love this place, it’s not perfect but if you are looking for a place where you tee off on a mat, there is no real fairway, and there’s a green 100yd away, this is for you. before 10:30am hardly anyone is there during the week. The greens are slow and chunky in some places, they’ll get your ball muddy when you take a divot, but it just adds a little difficulty since it’s only a par 3. Pace of play is fine as long as you don’t get behind 5 guys treating it like pinehurst. If you do get stuck on 1-9 there are some holes close to one another so you could just skip to the back 9 to get around people then later skip back to the front 9 where you left off. PS bring a divot tool.

Need some maintenance, but the greens are in fairly good condition!

I love going to this neighborhood course. The staff is nice and it has 1 executive course and 1 18 hole par 3 course. The course is pretty dry, except for the greens are in fairly good shape.

It would be helpful for newcomers with signs for each t-box. I have seen many being confused and walking over to the wrong hole.

I will be back to work on my short game soon!

Could be better maintained but still fun

This was my first time playing here and I’m not sure if it was the season or something else but the pictures definitely didn’t match what I saw. Driving range was essentially a big dirt patch as was many of the fairways on the 9 hole course. Many times the only green I saw was on the greens themselves. The areas closest to the clubhouse were fine but the further away you went, the more dirt there was. Staff was very friendly and I still had a good time.

Van Nuys - First time!

Overall, okay golf course. First time playing here; not too busy, some groups going slow. Some greens in need of maintenance, and a lot of dry patches of grass, but not expensive.

Revolting

Greens and fairways are in terrible condition — like a WEI battlefield. Massive potholes and scorched earth everywhere. The whole place smells bad. Seems more like a toxic waste dump than a golf course.

Would not come here again
